Tim Blair

But don't you see, Tim? Margo's interest in the leadership of the Labor party? The poll showing that the voters will accept anybody other than Simon Crean? Obviously the time has never been better for Margo to take over!

Y'see, this is why she never has time to spellcheck. She's too busy with other matters.

"The Labor Party would be in an election-winning position if it dumped Simon Crean as leader, regardless of who took his job...".

The Labor Party hasn't had a decent, true "leader" since ol' Ben Chifley in the 40's. Their most recent "leaders" - Goof Witless the Nation Destroyer, Kiddie Keating the bi-sexual clock collector and world's worst treasurer, Womanizer Hawke the Lefty unionist - have been role models for Bart Simpson, albeit with less charisma.

Geez, the partisanship of so many journalists these days . . . .

Journos rightly declare financial interests e.g. own Fairfax shares if writing about media ownership, or Telstra shares if writing about selling off the rest of Telstra.

Maybe they should also declare who they voted for at the last election, just so it's crystal clear where they're coming from. I'd love to see how their voting reflects against the broader electorate.

And by the way, I voted for the government at the last election.

Time to dump Crean and Macklin and go for Emerson and Gillard. They could be the dream team in and out of the bedroom.

Time will tell if Labor can recover from the advantage of having Simon Crean as Leader.

Meanwhile cryptic crossword afficionados will have a good old chuckle about the post from Mike Hunt about the alleged bedroom antics of Emerson & Gillard. Sexual objective sounds sounds like..........

Scenario following the next Federal election:
Abbot and Costello vs. Gillard and Latham?
What do other posters think?

If you can stand Gillard's Kath & Kim accent for that long.
